Thanks for your comments, I am always intrested in the opinions of other people in the same industry. Especially as you are obviously well established within the industry judging by your website etc.
As you may have read Lazer DJs was only established as an official company last year and has been growing since then. Our equipment does by no means refelct our knowledge as the bussiness was started purely to fund a growing hobby.
Both of us have worked on large scale theatrical and musical events using interfaces designed by the likes of zero88 as standard. Currently our main operational lighting board is a zero88 Frog 2 (some of you may know it), a board at the top of its league leading the future of inteligent lighting and computer interfaces within theatre. We are also 2 of only a few people worldwide to have full training with such systems.
As for Lazer DJs... it continues to grow. In my opinion the lighting rig we have at present (whatever you might think) still compeats with some of the top competiters and produces a much better dance floor than some local disc jokey with his 2 lightboxers, sequencers and tacky moonflower effects. Even if they are made by a top company. The Geni Mojo inteligent fixtures we use are still at the top of there game. There are ofcourse plenty of fixtures out there which are far better considering power etc. but for the price I trully believe in them. The prosound sound equipment has also beaten our expetations. Again for the price the system is incredable and has served us well but we are considering an upgrade in the near future, especially as we probably do require some bass bins.
And as for your comment that there is too much emphasis on our equipment. I disagree. Many of our customers do become genuinely intrested in this as many DJs do not give details. They like the fact that what they see is what they get. Honesty is very important. Too many DJs these days simpley state that a suitable light show will be provided. What does this mean?? A few light boxes... a familar site!
But anyway... i seem to have got carried away in the spirit of things as I often do! Thanks again for your comments. The music page is definatly about to be changed. Its content is only tempory. We hope to add a full music catalogue soon. The equipment i have explained and the photos are down to the same good old excuse. The camera always seems to end up left behind!

...and as for our upgrades
We are currently looking at the following equipment. Any of your opinions or recomendations would be appreciated.
- Good all round sound system with strong low to high response. As compact as possible and a reasonable price.
- Inteligent moving head fixtures. We ofcourse have a good knowledge of the industry standards include martin macs etc but what do people recomend for an on the road DJ.
- LED mood bars. Which are the best? are there any good cheaper options rather than the specificly designed £200 ones!
- Low fog... a new craze becoming very popular as a replacement to the good old dry ice.
All your comments or opinions of any of the above would be appreciated. Would also be intrested in any good retails people know...
thanks!

The PA i use for small shows....

I'm not sure you can get a cheaper LED option than the Zoom version.
In terms of moving heads, the better I Solution ones (I move 8 i think) look pretty good.
We use the old Antari Low Fogger, but it's a pain as you need to keep filling it with ice and draining away the water. Save up for a Jem Glaciator :teeth:

I still maintain that you overusing the equipment angle Lazer.
The whole of your last post was about gear.
It is important, but not as important as you are making out.
When people book other services, do they ask what kind of gear they use? Eg: electrician, plumber, painter, mechanic, band etc etc. The list goes on.
I have talked to very few clients about equipment in the 20+ years I have been trading as very few even ask about it, and if they do, what do you think they'd say if I started talking about diachroic lamps and what the RMS rating of speakers was? They'd have no idea!
Sell yourself and not your gear and it will pay dividends.

Ofcourse my last post was about gear... because this is a forum with other DJs on it! I ofcourse do not rattle on about those kinda things to my clients. But I will be making some revisions to our website in the near future along with our setups as we have been planning.
Thanks for you advice Darren... and I hope you don't mind me having a good read of your website sometime in the near future :teeth:
cheers, Olly
